Chapter 161 Unable to refuse
Nangong Yun brushed Nangong Min away, stood up and said sternly.
"Nangong Min! As a man, you cried in front of me for your child. I am so disappointed. If Nangong Ce hadn't wanted to murder Mu Jin, would you have never planned to come back?"
"I don't care what you thought before. Hide your previous thoughts to me right now, and I will forgive you."
"Three days from now, you will officially inherit the position of the leader of the Nangong Divine Sect and marry Bai Ling'er. You have to agree to it whether you agree or not. Don't throw away the rules set by our ancestors for the sake of such a woman! Do you understand?"
When Nangong Min heard Nangong Yun announce that he would inherit the position of clan leader and marry Bai Ling'er in three days, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
This news was like a bolt from the blue to him, catching him off guard. After he realized what was happening, he couldn't help but kowtow to Nangong Yun in panic.
"Please take back your decision, Grandmother! I cannot marry Ling'er. If you insist, then I will have no choice but to leave Nangong Sect."
When Nangong Yun heard Nangong Min's words, she was struck by lightning and was furious. She took a step forward, raised her hand as fast as a gust of wind, and slapped Nangong Min hard in the face.
"How dare you threaten your grandmother? You are the successor to our Nangong Divine Sect! How can you say such treasonous words? You have been mature and steady since childhood, when did you become so ignorant? Could it be that Mu Jin instigated you behind your back?"
Nangong Min quickly shook his head and denied: "Ah Jin, she didn't, these are my grandson's own thoughts."
Nangong Yun didn't believe it. She was convinced that her well-behaved grandson became like this because of Mu Jin's instigation. This made her even more convinced that Mu Jin wanted to use Nangong Min's blood for his own benefit.
"I knew that you, a wicked person who was blinded by women, would tell that woman the secrets of our Nangong Divine Sect for hundreds of years."
"You still say she didn't seduce you? Don't think I don't know about the plague in Dongyue. You used your blood. Otherwise, how could the plague be eliminated so quickly?"
"No, Ajin already knew medicine. My grandson just saw some dying people, so he secretly cut his own blood and mixed it with medicinal herbs to give to those patients. Ajin only found out about it later." Nangong Min tried to continue to argue with Nangong Yun.
Nangong Yun was obviously very angry. The good impression she had of Mu Jin for saving Nangong Min's life disappeared in an instant, and she spoke harshly.
"Shut up! Just because she knows the secrets of our Nangong Divine Sect, I can kill her! Considering that she saved your life, as long as she doesn't tell anyone, I can let her go. In the future, as long as the Mu family needs help from our Nangong Divine Sect, we will do our best to help them. As for the rest, forget it."
After Nangong Yun finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Nangong Min and left angrily.
Mu Jin was arranged by the attendants of Nangong Shenzong to live in a small courtyard in the south, where various flowers were planted, including chrysanthemums, peonies, wisteria, and mountain lilies.
These flowers are not only elegant and beautiful in appearance and bright in color, but also have extremely high medicinal value.
She gently picked a blooming peony, put it under her nose and smelled it, and a fresh and elegant fragrance wafted over her face.
Hearing footsteps, Mu Jin turned around and saw Su Yi with a flash of disappointment in his eyes.
She ignored Su Yi and walked to the stone table beside her and sat down, looking at the peony in her hand.
Su Yi knew that Mu Jin was waiting for Nangong Min, and he also saw the disappointment on Mu Jin's face when she saw him.
Su Yi asked Mu Jin with a sour look on his face: "Why do you look so disappointed? It's been more than an hour, and Nangong Min hasn't come to see you yet?"
Mu Jin raised his eyes and looked at Su Yi, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay. I live next door to you. I came to see if you were worried about Nangong Min."
Mu Jin sneered: "Why should I worry about it secretly?"
Su Yi sat down next to Mu Jin, held his face in his hands, blinked at Mu Jin, and seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
Mu Jin was a little annoyed. She lost her patience with Su Yi: "What's the matter?"
Su Yi said: "I heard something, but I'm afraid you'll be upset if I tell you. Do you think I should tell you?"
Seeing that Su Yi was about to say something, Mu Jin refused directly, "Then don't say it."
"I heard that the disciples of Nangong Divine Sect are preparing for Nangong Min to inherit the position of Sect Leader and marry Bai Ling'er in three days."
"you!"
After hearing what Su Yi said, Mu Jin couldn't help but freeze. After a moment, she sneered, "Really? Then when Min comes back, I'll ask him if he wants me to prepare some gifts for him."
Su Yi knew that Mu Jin was pretending to be stubborn. He felt a little angry and distressed. In the end, he asked about the doubts that had been in his mind for the past ten days.
"How come you like Nangong Min?"
Mu Jin sneered and said, "What does it have to do with you?"
Su Yi said: "In the capital, you promised to be friends with me. Isn't it also not possible for friends to show concern for each other?"
Mu Jin chuckled: "How can I be friends with you guys named Su? It's just a joke, why should King Yi take it seriously?"
Su Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "But I am serious. Since you promised me, I will rely on you. Don't even think about breaking away from me."
Mu Jin had long been accustomed to Su Yi's shameless look. She could see that Su Yi really cared about her, and she was indeed feeling upset. Maybe she wanted to say something to relieve her inner irritability at the moment. She sighed softly.
"After parting ways with Su Yuntian, I never thought about looking for another man to have a relationship with."
"I am rich and powerful, and I have had many good men courting me, but I never took them seriously."
When Su Yi heard that many men had pursued Mu Jin, a flash of anger flashed across his eyes, and he immediately asked, "Who were they?"
Mu Jin looked at Su Yi in confusion: "Who has everything?"
"Who are those nice men pursuing you?"
Mu Jin frowned and said angrily: "Is this the point?"
"That's the point!" Su Yi nodded seriously.
Mu Jin stood up angrily: "I won't say anything more, get out of here!"
Su Yi grabbed Mu Jin and said, "Alas, alas, alas, I was wrong. Is it okay if I am wrong? Please continue talking. I promise not to interrupt you again."
Mu Jin then rolled his eyes at Su Yi, sat back on the stone chair and continued.
"Why did I set this precedent for Min? Maybe it was because I was caught in a bandit's den, and he slaughtered all the bandits in order to find me. But because he couldn't find me, the despair in his eyes shocked my cold heart."
"Or, on the way to escape from the capital, he almost died because he helped me block the knife. At that time, I held Min, who was covered in wounds, in the cave and desperately prayed to God to let him live."
"He just remembered who he was. He even knew who he was and had no intention of leaving me and returning to Nangong Divine Sect. It was because of me that he took risks again and again."
"In that cave, I begged God to let him live. I begged Min to wake up soon. I said I would promise him everything as long as he woke up."
"Finally he woke up and expressed his feelings to me. That's when I realized he was in love with me and wanted to be with me. I couldn't refuse a man who was willing to sacrifice his life for me."
Every word Mu Jin said was like a knife, carving into Su Yi's chest. He didn't show it on his face, but his hands hidden under his sleeves clenched unconsciously.
